Our family is so enraptured with the Christmas spirit these days. We are mostly consumed with all things Charlie Brown Christmas - including the amazing Vince Guaraldi soundtrack. Jessica, Noah, and Avery listen to it every day on their way to school - and each night before bed we usually watch a bit of Charlie Brown holiday special (thank you DVR). We are still in the midst of our decorating, but have purchased and put up the Christmas Tree, and (most importantly for me) hung up our Moravian Star, which is quite dear to my heart (for more, check out this old post). I am most looking forward to: hot chocolate, pajamas, and being with all of my family this Christmas - how about you?
Eating a ginormous burrito at El Farolito in San Francisco, 2004 I LOVE burritos. It is a passion that I share with my brother, and we actively seek out a quality burrito in almost every place we visit (Jessica is more of a Fish Taco kind of gal, but she enjoys burritos as well). My love affair began around the age of 18, in the parking lots of Phish shows - where I could find any number of amazing burritos, cooked up on a dirty Coleman stove. I just loved the explosion of flavor (and surprise) that came with each burrito I ate in those years. One of the the first times I visited Asheville for a few days in college, I came across Rio Burrito, a now defunct burrito-specific shop on Biltmore Avenue. I went there all the time, and got to know all the nice folk who worked there. So, I was quite disappointed when they shut it down - so much so that I wrote about it here. But when Mamacitas opened in downtown Asheville in Spring 2004, I was smitten...
